"Rude staff & inefficient"

About: Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital (Wonford) / Accident and emergency

Absolutely awful experience - my head had been cut open by a hard fall and all I was given was paracetamol and then sent to wait for over 5 hours. Mind you there were only 4 other people waiting and people were sent in front of me just for being drunk. Then a bald and rude member of staff told my friends off for sleeping while waiting for me (meanwhile there are more than 20 seats open) and had a go at me for telling him that they were waiting for me. Was then told that there were at least 4 hours more to wait so we left without further treatment as it was 5AM at this point - you think they'd prioritise a head wound (bleeding heavily) and possible concussion but obviously not - spend more of their time harassing people sleeping in the middle of the night (obviously) you all should be ashamed of yourselves.
